FULHAM AWAY MANY YEARS BACK

Wed Aug 28, 2013 12:23 pm

Sure some stato will know the year, we had just played Bristol City away, and it was mental, i think we had over a hundred fans arrested in one street near the ground, it must have made the national press all over the UK.

One of those arrested had a famous footballer as a dad, cant,t remember if it was John Charles boy, but the press had a field day.
Next away match was Fulham, we had a fifty seater from Aberdare, parked up in Paddington, and made our way over by tube to Fulham, by now there must have only been thirty of us, some doing their own thing.

Well when we got to Fulham it was mental. there must have been two hundred coppers waiting for us, even they were shaking their heads, searched us and marched us to the ground, we had eight coppers per fan. Slight knee jerk reaction to Bristol but not the last time we seen situations like that. :lol:

What year was it when we won 4-0 or 4-1 there? I got arrested and only heard the celebrations from under the stand in the cells. In fact when we go there next month it'll be the first time for me at Craven Cottage since that shite day. It was early 90's.
Worse still, I got a 12 month ban from everywhere on earth. :shock:
